Wow. Just … wow.
I don't know which is the most disturbing:
a. This Georgia Republican Representative denouncing evolution, embryology, and the Big Bang as "lies straight from the Pit of Hell" …
b. This Georgia Republican Representative and proud "Young Earth Creationist / Biblical Literalist" being a proud member of the House Science Committee.
c. All those morbid and creepifying mounted deer heads staring down on the George Republican Representative as he speaks at the Liberty Baptist Church Sportsman's Banquet.
So much wrong in this video clip that it's hard to know where to start.

And, really? Jesus put all those deer on earth so that we could shoot them and mount their heads on the wall as trophies? Really?
I confess I am not a hunter or sanguine about the sport (literally or metaphorically). But I appreciate that others may enjoy it or get something out of it. But not that it's something a church would host a banquet over.
Turns out, Jesus didn't have anything better to do than operate the woodlands version of put-and-take.
